Not really, a 5S LiPo is 18.5v (3.7v x 5).I am new to this too but I think a 5s LiPo a 6s would be overdriving them.

when i calc batteries i do it from when they are fully charged which 4.2 per cell
this could be help as well https://pp3d.weebly.com/getting-started
Ah, good point. I do wonder why then on my LiFePO4 batteries does the charger reach about 3.7v per cell and reads that when done but if you check it about 10 minutes later, it reports back as being the nominal voltage? (I'll probably make a separate topic on this later on to keep this one on track).

LiFePo4 cells are 3.3V nominal and 3.6V fully charged. LiPo is 3.7V nominal and 4.2V fully charged.
Make sure your charger is "knowing" it's reading LiFePo4 and not LiPo.
Definitely says LiFe on the charger, I have to set the charger every time from LiPo to LiFe when I turn it on which annoys me oh-so-immensely but yes, good point, always check the charger first.
